To me, Twyla Tharp is an inspiration. She has always tried to make the most out of everyone that she is in impending. In her books
The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It For Life, and
The Collaborative Habit: Life Lessons For Working Together she helps people find their inner creativeness and be more collaborative with others.
To see the strive of starting a new dance company and creating a new dance style seems complex and stressful, but she managed to pull through with perseverance and determination. With her works still being used today, she clearly made an impact on dance history.
As a growing dancer, Twyla's story leaves me with hope for some sort of dance career even through the hardest times. In my recently purchased
book
The Creative Habit, Twyla leaves stimulating quotes that aid in thinking outside of the box, and may help me in my choreographic process. I hope to leave an impact on people some day just as Twyla has on the American dancing society.
Upon reading your post, I am very intrigued by the book “The Creative Habit” by Tharp and how she talks about creativity and collaborations. I myself have often struggled with being creative when it comes to choreographing. With Twyla being such an innovative and creative artist, I think it would be very interesting and beneficial for me to read her book and look into the minds of one of the greatest choreographers in the 20th century!
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised that Tharp's book inspires readers to push their own envelope because that is what I think makes her so successful as a choreographer. Tharp continually pushed her own influence and always asked so much of her dancers and it got her to where she is today. I think that readers of this can definitely learn a lot from her. Just by viewing how successful she is today it is clear her methods work.
